Local net labels are preceded with sheetpath (even for single sheet
schematics it is '/') causing net name conflicts between schematics and
layout. It can be easily avoided by using exclusively global net
labels, at the cost having uglier schematics.
After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board

Board update KiWay request may now contain options in the message
payload:
- "no-annotate": do not enforce annotation
- "quiet-annotate": annotate without displaying a dialog
- "by-reference": update netlist by reference, no dialog displayed
- "by-timestamp": update netlist by timestamp, no dialog displayed
Sheet file name paths were not being saved and restored properly under
certain conditions when walking the sheet hierarchy causing schematic
load errors.
Changed debugging output to use wxLogTrace left over from last fix.

Deleting lines can create new ones when old lines are merged as the
result of a delete operation. This checks that all items inside a
selection block are deleted before finishing.

Fixes a bunch of errors:
- libedit and libbrowser would zoom to bounding box but centre on canvas
- libedit, libbrowser and gerbview didn’t take the scroll bars into account
- pcbnew didn’t take scroll bars into account or apply the 10% margin
- appending a board file would re-centre, but not re-zoom

Try as you might to keep them fresh, there's no gaurantee.
Instead, just treat them as weak references and search the
existing items for a pointer-value match.
This also allows us to remove some code which kept recycling
the search position back to the start ever time a replace
was done.

Extra labels to preserve eagle named nets feature are now placed at the
end of a wire segment instead of the middle of a wire. Prevents a label
being placed on crossing wires that are not connected by a junction
resulting in an incorrent netlist.
Many had already been fixed but weren't working on Mac because
of the DIALOG_SHIM hack (now fixed). Others hadn't been updated
yet. Also includes some cleanup for elipses in buttons and
layout.

File names can be reliable compared only after normalization. The
problem is the easiest to observe on Windows, where one can use slash or
backslash as path separator, so even though C:/file.txt and C:\file.txt
pointed to the same file - simple string comparison would indicate they
are different files.

1) don't call UI-level LIB_PIN routines when reading library --
not only are they a performance hit, they set the modified flag
too
2) limit progress dialog updating to 15 times a second (this
had crept back up to 31% of the time spent loading libraries)
